CAPTURING sEALERS.
The Canadian Vessel Owners Claim
Damages OF Their Government.

OTTAWA, Aug. 23.-The fisheries depart
ment has received notice of the seizure Of
more Canadian sealing vessels in the North
Pacific Ocean by United States cruiser.
The department also states that the COM
manders of all United States cruisers in the
Alaska service have received from the Wash
ington authorities strict orders to seize all
sealing vessels found in Behring's Sea, un-
less they are the property of the Alaska Fur
Company, which bears out the statement
made by the commander of the United
States cruiser Rush to the officers of the w.
II. Sayward of the reason for the capture
and detention of that vessel. The owners of
the British Columbia sealing vessels seized
in Benring Sea hold that the Dominion gov
ernment should pay them the amount of
their losses in consequence Of such seizures,
because they have taken place in connection
with an international dispute, and that the
Dominion government should exact repay
ment of the amounts paid out as compensa-
ton TO the vessel owners, il it is shown that
the vessels were improperly seized. The
owners of the seized vessels say il is not
right that they should be allowed to suffer
while the international dispute drags along
perhaps for years.

Sir John VIII Call Out the Regulars

TORONTO, Ont, Aug. 23.-Mayor Walsh. a
leading conservative of Manitoba, has re-
turned to Toronto from the maritime prov
inces, where he had an interview with Sir
John Macdonald regarding disallowance in
Manitoba
Sir John said he was determined that dis
allowance of the Red River Valley Railway
charter shall take effect. 81 am bound to
see, he said, ''that the supremacy of the
federal authority is maintained. 1t is time
that the provinces should be taught that
when Her Majesty's representative, with the
consent of her advisers, sees fit to disallow
measure which is derogatory to the interests
of the Dominion and the Empire, they must
submit gracefully"
Mr.. Walsh said: "The people of Manitoba
wish to build the Red River road with their
own money and are determined not to be
prevented from so doing i am sure the
volunteers of Ontario will not take up arms
against their brothers in Manitoba"
Il am determined" said Sir John, shat
the construction of that road shall be stop
ped, and, If necessary, by British regulars.
has decided to establish garrison at Winni-
peg and troops will be sent there shortly.
The idea has met with favor by the British
government. They see that Winnipeg is an
important strategic point and that in event
OF war troops can be kept there cheaply and
be transported to India or elsewhere with
despatch. Their presence there will also
make the unruly provinces submit to federal
authority"
Mr.. Walsh replied: sour people will resist
with an armed force, and II collision oc-
ours rebellion will follow"
Il cannot help that" said Sir John, 1--WE
must see that federal authority is maintain
ed over provincial authority, and if rebel
lion is the result it will not be my fault 1t
determined to stop the construction of the
Red River Valley Railway if it has to be
done at the point of the bayonet."
